- Hello person! I'm Laura and my middle names are Lesley and Jenett. Birthday is June 13th 1988. In second year studying at Edinburgh uni doing biological sciences.
I've got MSUD, which stands for Maple Syrup Urine Disorder (a metabolic disorder, NOT a urine one!), and Asperger Syndrome, which is a brain quirk that sticks me onto the end of the autistic spectrum.
And by the way, click King Fisher's head a few times and watch what happens...
Best friends are my sister Cathy (who's got MSUD as well so I'm not alone) and my friend I met two weeks into first year called Mark. I like reading, writing stories, acting and space & the universe.

The Sunday Obituaries
Explanation: We found these obituaries in various publications over the months and thought it would be interesting to share them. We are not the authors, but found them amusing and surreal. Most of them seem to be written in haste from people who seem to lack a basic grasp of the language or human empathy.
Enjoy!
Brian McCabe – Kingston, Jamaica: He fun writer man. He scribe well good. He not like writers. He bring fun to room. He provide juice for brownies. Born in 1971 he visit Clash at Hammersmith Apollo. He bad with daughters and unpleasant to funeral director cousin. He need learn to repent. Never made much of life. Often curse people in anger.
William Shakespeare, Mulbuidh : William Shakespeare, a much loved handyman of the community, passed away from piles at the weekend. Sadly there was much suffering, and his ultimate demise was from insomnia due to the fact that towards the end he was utterly unable to sit down.
William Shakespeare was born in South London, and because of a thick cockney accent he failed to make it into posh grammar school. Nevertheless he didn’t let the blow diminish his enthusiasm and zest for life. He moved up to Scotland and took various jobs to pay rents (after his family disowned him for not following the tradition of attending grammar school and writing books and plays). Finding his skills as a handyman, he took on what he thought would be a temporary job, and found that this was, in fact, the thing he most wanted to do in his life.
He was very friendly and knew all the people in the small village, and would often stop for a cup of coffee and a chat, which, ironically, led to his demise ultimately after sitting on a wooden fence which had a splinter he didn’t notice. He never recovered after it lodged itself between his manageable fissures. He will be very sore…sorely missed.
Erasmus, Munich: Born into a poor collier dancing troupe, he had his surname repossessed by the council after the assets of his family were taken in a bust. They also claimed his navel and third toe. As a consequence, he devoted himself to “belly button reconnaissance” wherein he trapped people and attempted to graft their navels onto his own navel-less stomach. He was jailed for 189 years after his laboratory was unearthed in a bunker in Dusseldorf with 2348 removed navels and one third toe in his lockups.
He died in prison while attempting to steal the navel of a convict, “Innie” Gerald McPike.
Iffy Much – Buxton : She was born as an accident and given up for adoption. Nobody adopted her. She grew up in an orphanage and when she was an adult she lived alone. She became progressively reclusive to the point of wearing a sheet over her in public. She died when she got cancer and didn’t seek help. Nobody will miss her.
Jethro Munt, Oxbridge: A professor. Studied books. Had four sons. Often humiliated in public. Kicked a poodle once. Wrote five novels of little import and consequence. Married a man to the opprobrium of his father. Friends will attend his funeral. Wants sausage rolls and scotch eggs at his wake.
Anonymous: They’ll all do it wrong. So I took the initiative and, on my sick bed, dictated an obituary to be published when I’m dead. I don’t suppose many will miss me. I don’t suppose many read the obituaries anyway. Who wants to sit morbidly reading stories about people they don’t know who have died? Not me. I spent my entire final illness reading about pretty girls from the fifties. And I intend to spend whatever time I have left doing just that still. If anyone tries to stop me I’ll die on their watch, and then they’ll be sorry. Such a nice position to be in. Get me an egg. No I want an egg. Well if you don’t I’ll die. Oh, thank you. I think we have an understanding. So far I’ve had blood coming out my eyes, nose and mouth, as well as white mucus coming up f0 Comments 715 days

Flash Fiction Blobs
The Unclaimed Salad
Walking from the orphanage to the criss-cross byroad, I spotted a salad dressing laid out on the street, just before the traffic lights. On a single white plate, arranged with a knife and fork and a sheath of parsley, I licked my lips and looked around for its owner.
There was none, so I ate it.
Limey
I am English and suffer from Lyme disease. This comes from eating too many limes. I have a morbid fear of scurvy and limes help. If only I had known that too many limes turn your skin green. I tried getting a job as a lollipop man, but whenever anyone saw me on the other side of the street, they rushed across the road and got squished by the oncoming traffic.
The man who eats too many tomatoes and lives on the other side of the street to me, added to the confusion. Only fifty percent of the bamboozled people survived the ordeal of us standing on opposite sides of the road waving to each other.
I wish we weren’t murderers, but it’s just one of the many things beyond out control now.
“It Helps”
You never know the car is there until it sidles up to you and asks: “Care for some driving gloves?”
You never know the tree is there until it climbs into the front seat and says: “Woodland trouble ahead.”
You never know the arm is hanging off until it says: “There is leakage around the shoulder.”
It helps.
The Support Group
Being a newbie is daunting. I was new to the support group once, too. I had to stand up in front of a circle of participants and share my tragic story. Afterwards they all sympathised and we talked about our feelings now. One other new person was too traumatised by his ordeal to speak or interact with anyone.
He wasn’t the first to experience being struck dumb with shock.
It’s a common phenomenon when you first die.

Mikhail
I stand before you betrothed and destined to make an epic journey out to Russia sometimes known as the motherland. Omsk is a place in Russia and has lots of trees. Lots of kinds of trees. Lots of Lumberjacks and one; named Mikhail, whom I am engaged to. Nothing special at the moment, as he has 75 'wenches' already. Still, congratulations, anyone? Anyone? Well I'll congratulate myself, then.
Congratulations Laura. You must be on cloud 9.
Thank you Laura, indeed I am.
Bye Laura,
Bye Laura.0 Comments 767 days

Hey, hey,
a very happy birthday to you. I hope you had a great day and did some proper celebrating.
Congratulations on your oceanography mark, I did worse though still passed which I sort of cannot believe because I though the exam didn't go that bad. The other exams I both passed with B grade marks, one was even off an A by one mark... great...
I just started back at work today and it was just like when I finished last September. Where are you working at? I hope you're enjoying yourself and having a great time.
Love,

Hey Laura,
how are you? How's your holiday been so far? I have had a pretty good time so far and I hope summer will be as good (besides feeling rather sick for the last two or three days...)
I don't know what our plans are for the highlands yet, but I'll let you know as soon as my family decides to actually plan something...
Love,

Hey,
I've finished exams yesterday, so I am really happy about that. Saturday afternoon sounds great. Do you mind if we meet more towards tea time, say about 4 or 5 ish? Saturday happens to be the day I have to get all my stuff into storage, so it'll take up quiet a substantial amount of my time. Why don't we say about 4:30 ish at.... uhm... what would be good for you? I'm out anyway, so I don't really care...
Good luck with your Exam

Hey,
glad to hear that it went well, mine didn't go too bad either, though I wrote a lot and with the exam yesterday, my hand is completely ruined for some time. The exam for us was three hours which is still really long...
I had my last exam yesterday and I'm leaving the Burgh on Sunday. How do you feel about having tea on Friday or meeting up for a chat on Saturday? Just let me know what works for you.
Good luck with the rest of your exams.

yh i agree i always imagined him to have a daughter and a son and a wife but they were killed before the early episodes and he feels slightly responsible and thats why he feels that he has to travel around the universe saving other species
